At least their "big brothers" - the PA32 (Lance), Navajo, Chieftain, etc.
Single VOR intersection holds in solid IMC over middle-o-nowhere Oregon? Sure.
God I do miss those days. |
lol...have a student right now with a '65 pa-28-180 with a single-axis a/p, and just a single vor. at least you can flip over quickly and see what actual crossing radial you're on based upon the freq you set in standby. other than that, he's also got the old bendix with 'manual tune' i referenced earlier. i jokingly tellthe guy that 'your balls are gonna be dragging the ground once you get the rating and start flying in the soup with this 'ol girl!'
i never got a chance to fly the 'big brothers', but the man that owns the fbo where i do most of my g.a. instruction flew all three part 135 back in the early/mid 80's.
